Properties linked to 1993 Mumbai blasts main accused Tiger Memon
Properties linked to Tiger Memon—the main accused behind the 1993 Mumbai bombings—are finally going up for auction after being sealed for over 30 years.
SAFEMA (the government authority handling seized assets) currently holds eight of these properties, including three flats in Mahim that played a role in the case.
The auction is expected by late 2025 or early 2026, once ongoing legal formalities are cleared.
Flats used to plan bombings
Investigators found that one of the Mahim flats was actually used to plan the deadly attacks, which killed 257 people across Mumbai back in March 1993.
While Tiger Memon is still on the run (reportedly hiding in Pakistan), his family's deep involvement is well documented—his brother Yakub was executed in 2015, and other relatives were also convicted.
Auctioning these properties marks a step toward closing a long and painful chapter for many families affected by those tragic events.
